Why Track AI Crawlers?

AI platforms can only cite content they've crawled. If they're not visiting your pages, you're invisible to AI search.

The AI indexing blind spot

Most website owners have no idea which AI platforms crawl their content - or how often. You might be blocking GPTBot without knowing it, or your best content might never get indexed.

Understanding crawler behavior is the first step to improving your AI visibility. If ChatGPT never sees your content, it can never recommend you.

How AI Crawler Tracking Works

AI crawlers don't execute JavaScript - they only fetch raw HTML. That's why we offer server-side detection methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What AI crawlers does Surva.ai track?

We track all major AI crawlers including GPTBot (ChatGPT/OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), PerplexityBot, Google-Extended (Gemini), Cohere-ai, Meta-ExternalAgent, and more. New crawlers are detected and added automatically as they emerge.

How does AI crawler tracking work?

AI crawlers don't execute JavaScript - they only fetch raw HTML. To detect them, you need server-side tracking. Surva.ai offers two methods: import your Nginx/Apache server logs, or deploy a Cloudflare Worker for real-time edge detection. Both options are available on Growth and Business plans.

Is AI crawler tracking GDPR compliant?

Yes. Our tracking is privacy-first by design. We use no cookies, no localStorage, and no client-side identifiers. We only track bot visits, not human visitors. No consent banner required because we don't collect personal data.

Why should I track AI crawlers?

Understanding which pages AI crawlers visit helps you optimize for AI search visibility. If crawlers aren't visiting your key pages, AI platforms may not include your content in their responses. This data helps you identify gaps and optimize your site for AI indexing.

Will this slow down my website?

No. Server log import is a batch process that doesn't affect your site at all. The Cloudflare Worker runs at the edge with sub-millisecond overhead. Neither method impacts your page load times or Core Web Vitals.

What's the difference between crawler tracking and referral tracking?

Crawler tracking detects when AI bots (like GPTBot or ClaudeBot) crawl your pages to index content - this requires server-side detection. Referral tracking detects when human visitors click links from AI answers to visit your site - this uses JavaScript. Both are valuable: crawls indicate indexing, referrals indicate traffic from citations.
